HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, recharging the battery for at least 8
hours is recommended to ensure that the battery's maximum charge capacity is achieved. Charge
loss may occur during shipping and storage. To recharge the battery, simply leave the unit plugged
into an AC outlet. The unit will charge in both the on and off position.
Note: This UPS is designed with a safety feature to keep the system from being turned on during
shipment. The first time you turn the UPS on, you will need to have it connected to AC power or it will
not power up.
2. If you will use the software, connect the USB cable to the USB port on the UPS.
3. With the UPS unit off and unplugged, connect the computer, monitor, and any externally powered
data storage device (Zip drive, Jazz drive, Tape drive, etc. into the battery power supplied outlets.
DO NOT plug a laser printer, copier, space heater, vacuum, paper shredder or other large electrical
device into the battery power supplied outlets. The power demands of these devices will overload
and possibly damage the unit.
4. To protect a fax, telephone, modem line or network cable, connect a telephone cable or network
cable from the wall jack outlet to the IN jack of the UPS. Then connect a telephone cable or network
cable from the OUT jack on the UPS to the modem, computer, telephone, fax machine, or network
device.
5. Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire grounded receptacle (wall outlet). Make sure the wall branch outlet
is protected by a fuse or circuit breaker and does not service equipment with large electrical
demands (e.g. air conditioner, refrigerator, copier, etc. Avoid using extension cords.
6. Depress the power switch to turn the unit on. The power on indicator light will illuminate and the unit
will "beep".
7. If an overload is detected, an audible alarm will sound and the unit will emit one long beep. To
correct this, turn the UPS off and unplug at least one piece of equipment from the battery power
supplied outlets. Wait 10 seconds. Make sure the circuit breaker is depressed and then turn the UPS
on.
8. Your UPS is equipped with an auto-charge feature. When the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet, the
battery will automatically recharge.
9. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
